All this hit here in Illinois when the Super DCMA took effect, and it technically became illegal to use a router in your home (as the Illinois DCMA restricts the ability to hide the source or destination of any electronic communication, kinda like NAT). I certainly didn't pull NAT off my home or my office connections! I think no one has been called down (e.g., no one has challenged) on the law, but I could be arrested at any time for running a basic Netgear router on my broadband at home.
Making NAT illegal is a good idea, however it was done for all the wrong reasons. Pete
